Eve Hewson | The Perfect Couple UK Premiere | Netflix's new binge-watch Murder Mystery

congratulations on the show. How much funding was it being part of a cast that seems to have been so. Had so much fun off screen, but is it been so darkly toxic on the screen? Yeah, I know, very dark and toxic, but, that actually we all get along so I don't know, it was just like acting, but it didn't really feel like work. I was like, we were all just hanging out at summer camp or something. And of course, in one of the best locations in the world, as well. So how much fun was that being in some of those enormous houses? Enormous houses. Really big, really beautiful houses. But it was also off season, so it was really cold. And there were, there was only like one bar and like one restaurant we could go to. So we had to become resourceful. And, how did you become involved in this in the first place? Did you, actually go through the audition process or. And how long was that? No, I, I got sent the scripts and, I met with Suzanne and we spoke about the part and just sort of got a general vibe for each other. And then I read the first three, and I was like, oh, no, I have, I have to do this show. And I sent her like a very passionate letter, and she gave in the park. And, how long was it from that from then to actually setting foot on set? I think about six weeks. Yeah. And it was about a year long. She. No, no, it was three months. Oh, okay. It took us a year to complete it because the strikes. So we kept having to go back and shoot it again and go back and shoot it again and try to get everybody's schedules together. It was kind of. And for you, what are you going to take away from? This has been the most satisfying thing. Oh, just working with your friends. So much fun. Yeah. Yeah. Well, congratulations on the show. And thank you so much for speaking to us. Ladies and gentlemen, you are watching. Hey, you guys. Yeah, you guys are you guys? I That's what they all say. You guys. Hey, guys. congratulations on the show. How great is it to have such a fantastic cast work together in such amazing locations? How great is that? That's really great. So you better not fuck it up. That's how great it is. It's like. Yes. Amazing cast. Amazing location. And now it's on me not to mess it up. And to make sure you don't mess it up. You obviously have to surround yourself with people who you you trust. How did you go about that process of choosing who you wanted to do? A crew like DP and who? I pretty much knew who I wanted, but I think the the not fucking it up is also it's also trusting the process a little. But it's, it's also kind of, you know, we have these amazing actors and they are pretty good at improvising. They're pretty good at all that. And then allowing for that to happen is a. Lie. You kind of you kind of go, whoa, this is fun. I'm going to I'm just going to stay in this, in this, in this moment with them. And there was a lot of that. I know what made me do realize you've got it right. Is it on set as the magic comes together or is on screen is you look at rush is what it's on set. I mean, at some point the sound engineer was like, can you please not laugh so much in the takes? Because, you're actually ruining the takes. So and just lastly, just about the chemistry of your fantastic cast, all of the pieces seem to work so well together. How how to satisfying is that coming? You know, seeing that happen, and seeing them get on so. Well, it's only now that I'm allowing myself to enjoy a little bit because we literally mixed like very recently we mixed episode six. So there is that kind of constant questioning of like, do I, do I need to do this? This is right. It doesn't it doesn't stop. It kind of goes on. But I think tonight I will actually enjoy it. Well, I hope you do enjoy yourself this evening. Fantastic series and thank you so much, congratulate on the show. We've been hearing how much fun it was to be on set and, how that carries over into the darkly toxic family atmosphere. I guess you build up a level of trust between the cast, just kicking back and having fun. Does that mean you can push out a bit more when you. When you're all together and acting? Yes. For sure. To some degree, I think, it helps a lot to, to have a feeling of, you know, camaraderie. So there is space to play. And also, most importantly, to be able to trust each other, you know, because, on a scale of production such as this, you know, you want to be able to hone it all in and and be able to feel like it's another day of work and, and focus on the substance of the scene, focus on trying to find truth in that given moment. And, when you have a warmth and a camaraderie with, you know, your colleagues, it only makes it that much easier to be able to achieve that. We were gathering. There's a fair amount of improvization goes on. How much fun was that, and how much do you think has made it into the final show? Well, I guess you got that from Jack Reynor . So it was it was a little more for some people, than the others. You know, I think all of us were assigned very individual characters, and, and each of them had a unique voice. And in my case, and I, if I may say so, for everything in Eve Hewson's case as well, it was important to keep it grounded and and to walk a thin line. You know, there is a whole lot of drama in the show. Despite the humor, despite the entertainment. And, I think that's what makes it tonally unpredictable. And, and so I think there was a whole lot of enjoyment every day of work, like, you never knew what to expect. And all of it was in Susanna's head. And it's Susanna's party. So what you see eventually is her overlaying vision. And what is it that you're going to take away as the most satisfying thing so far? Because obviously the series is coming out shortly. What what's the most satisfying thing for you from this whole experience? I think, the work experience, just being able to work in an environment that is so radically different from what I've been exposed to before, but at the same time, being able to find comfort in the fact that across the world, what we do is the same thing. We we all storytellers, we're all creators and creative beings, and we're all trying to get, to the truth of the moment and the crux of the biscuit, so to say. And, there's, there's a great joy in being able to bring two worlds together. And I'm so glad that I had this opportunity. I think it's a rare one, and I'll cherish it as, as I move forward in my career. Congratulations again on the show. Thank you so much for speaking to us. Thank you. Pleasure
